A battery must be used to retain the motherboard configuration in CMOS RAM short 1-2 pins of JPAT to store the CMOS data.

To clear the CMOS, follow the procedure below:

1. Turn off the system and unplug the AC power

2. Remove ATX power cable from ATX power connector

3. Locate JBAT and short pins 2-3 for a few seconds

4. Return JBAT to its normal setting by shorting pins 1-2

5. Connect ATX power cable back to ATX power connector

Note: When should clear CMOS

1. Troubleshooting

2. Forget password

3. After over clocking system boot fail

2-3 Glossary

Chipset (core logic) - two or more integrated circuits which control the interfaces between the

system processor, RAM, I/O devises, and adapter cards.

Processor socket - the socket used to mount the system processor on the motherboard.

Slot (AGP, PCI, ISA, RAM) - the slots used to mount adapter cards and system RAM.

AGP -

Accelerated Graphics Port - a high speed interface for video cards; runs at 1X (66MHz), 2X

(133MHz), or 4X (266MHz).

PCI -

Peripheral Component Interconnect - a high speed interface for video cards, sound cards,

network interface cards, and modems; runs at 33MHz.

Serial Port -

a low speed interface typically used for mouse and external modems.

Parallel Port -

a low speed interface typically used for printers.

PS/2 - a low speed interface used for mouse and keyboards. USB - Universal Serial Bus - a medium speed interface typically used for mouse, keyboards,

scanners, and some digital cameras. Sound (interface) - the interface between the sound card or integrated sound connectors and speakers, MIC, game controllers, and MIDI sound devices. BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) - the program logic used to boot up a computer and establish the relationship between the various components. Driver - software, which defines the characteristics of a device for use by another device or other

software.

Processor - the "Central Processing Unit" (CPU); the principal integrated circuit used for doing the "computing" in "personal computer"

CMOS RAM Clear Setting

2-3 closed Clear CMOS

JBAT

1-2 closed Normal (Default)

Front Side Bus Frequency -

The working frequency of the motherboard, which is generated

by the clock generator for CPU, DRAM and PCI BUS.

CPU L2 Cache -

The flash memory inside the CPU, normally Pentium III CPU has 256K or

above, while Celeron CPU will have 128K.

2-3-1 Setting CPU Bus Clock & Memory Clock Jumper

Setting the front side bus frequency and SDRAM frequency

The motherboard uses jumper less function for the front side bus frequency and SDRAM frequency users don’t need setting any jumper when plug the CPU in motherboard

For experience user looking for over clocking possibility, please refer to sec 2-3-2.

2-3-2 Over clock Running

WARNING!

This section is for experienced motherboard installer only. Over clocking can result in system instability or even shortening life of the processor.

Users can choose over clock running by BIOS CMOS SETUP UTILITY. When you entered CMOS SETUP UTILITY, choose “Miscellaneous Control” you will see the screen as below then.

WARNING!

The Design of this motherboard follows chipset and CPU vender’s design guideline. Any attempts to push beyond product specification are not recommended and you are taking your own risk to damage your system or important data. Before over clocking, you must make sure your components are able to tolerate such abnormal setting, especially CPU, memory, hard disks, and VGA cards.

2-4 Install Memory

The motherboards provide one 240-pin DUAL INLINE MEMORY MODULES (DIMM) sites for memory expansion available from minimum memory size of 64MB to maximum memory size of 1.0GB DDR2 SDRAM.

Valid Memory Configurations

Bank 240-Pin DIMM PCS Total Memory

Bank 0, 1 (DDR1) DDR2 533/DDR2 400

DDR2 SDRAM Module

X1 64MB∼1.0GB

Total System Memory (Max. 1.0GB) 1 64MB∼1.0GB

Generally, installing DDR SDRAM modules to your motherboard is very easy, you can refer to figure 2-4 to see what a 240-Pin DDR2 400/DDR2 533 DDR2 SDRAM module looks like.

DIMM 1 (BA N K 0+BANK 1)

NOTE! When you install DIMM module fully into the DIMM socket the eject tab should be

locked into the DIMM module very firmly and fit into its indention on both sides.

WARNING! For the DDR SDRAM CLOCK is set at 133MHz, use only DDR266-compliant DDR

Modules. When this motherboard operate at 133MHz, most system will not even boot if non-compliant modules are used because of the strict timing issues, if your SDR Modules are not DDR266-compliant, set the DDR SDRAM clock to 100MHz to ensure system stability.

Figure 2-4

2-5 Expansion Cards

WARNING! Turn off your power when adding or removing expansion cards or other system

components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both your motherboard and expansion cards.

2-5-1 Procedure For Expansion Card Installation

1. Read the documentation for your expansion card and make any necessary hardware or software

setting for your expansion card such as jumpers.

2. Remove your computer’s cover and the bracket plate on the slot you intend to use.

3. Align the card’s connectors and press firmly.

4. Secure the card on the slot with the screen you remove above.

5. Replace the computer system’s cover.

6. Set up the BIOS if necessary.

7. Install the necessary software driver for your expansion card.

2-5-2 Assigning IRQs For Expansion Card

Some expansion cards need an IRQ to operate. Generally, an IRQ must exclusively assign to one use. In a standard design, there are 16 IRQs available but most of them are already in use.

Standard Interrupt Assignments

IRQ Priority Standard function

0 N/A System Timer 1 N/A Keyboard Controller 2 N/A Programmable Interrupt 3 * 8 Communications Port (COM2) 4 * 9 Communications Port (COM1) 5 * 6 Sound Card (sometimes LPT2) 6 * N/A Floppy Disk Controller 7 * 7 Printer Port (LPT1) 8 N/A System CMOS/Real Time Clock

9 * 10 ACPI Mode when enabled 10 * 3 IRQ Holder for PCI Steering 11 * 2 IRQ Holder for PCI Steering 12 * 4 PS/2 Compatible Mouse Port 13 N/A Numeric Data Processor 14 * 5 Primary IDE Channel 15 * N/A Secondary IDE Channel

* These IRQs are usually available for ISA or PCI devices.

2-5-3 Interrupt Request Table For This Motherboard

Interrupt request are shared as shown the table below:

INT A INT B INT C INT D INT E INT F INT G INT H Slot 1

√

Onboard VGA

√

Onboard USB 1

√

Onboard USB 2

√

LAN

√

AC97/MC97

√

IMPORTANT!

If using PCI cards on shared slots, make sure that the drivers support “Shared IRQ” or that the cards don’t need IRQ ass ignme nts. Conf licts will arise between the two PCI groups that will make the system unstable or cards inoperable.
